Flat or round blast nozzle? Choosing HV-4 and HV-5
Flat nozzles are popular for façades and accessible flat surfaces.
SodaBlast Systems · SBS SYSTEM
In short
Flat nozzles are popular for façades and accessible flat surfaces. Their fan-shaped pattern helps the operator cover adjacent strips. The round HV-4 has a 6.4 mm bore and is popular for automotive work. The 7.9 mm HV-5 is the versatile round option.
Matching nozzle bore to the job
Choose the bore with the compressor, hose and media in mind. At a demonstration compare the width of one pass, access around an edge and the finish on your own sample. For dust suppression, check which water connection fits the nozzle. The outlet adapter is available for selected round HV nozzles.
For a façade contract, bring a sample containing a joint and an edge as well as a broad face. For automotive work, bring a real dismantled part. A demonstration on both shapes shows whether the intended nozzle gives you access as well as a finish you can sell.
